Farm Advice Services

Integrated advice across your business 

We understand how challenging it can be to run a successful business, especially in these uncertain and rapidly-changing times. 

We also know that agronomy decisions need to be made with wider farm management objectives in mind – which is why we set up our Farm Advice Services. 

Our team of farm business advisors work alongside our agronomists, so that you receive a rounded and complete business service. And because they have access to our central resource of research and data, you can be sure that the advice you receive is as up to date as possible.

Our package of services

There are lots of moving parts in a farm business which need to be managed for success, such as labour, fixed costs, environmental stewardship, contracts, rents – not to mention overall business strategy. 

That’s why we offer a full range of Farm Advice Services, to help your business prosper in every way. These include, among others: 

• Whole farm analysis and budgeting
• Enterprise analysis
• Cost of production calculations
• Benchmarking
• Contract farming agreements
• Rent reviews
• Training
• Diversification advice 

With our help, our clients have turned around loss-making businesses, restructured their business to give them more time, reduced dependence on energy inputs, and avoided costly cross compliance failures. 

Environmental focus

Farming sustainably has never been more important – or faced so many policy changes – which is why we have a team of environmental specialists who offer technical advice and support.

Based within the Farm Advice Services team, they will ensure your business makes the most of the new Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS), the growing natural capital market, and your own sustainability ambitions. 

Advice they offer includes; soil management plans, nutrient and fertiliser plans, risk mapping, water auditing, and best practice of crop protection products.
